Title: Mega Muffins
**Ingredients:**
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup chocolate chips (or nuts, dried fruits, or your preferred mix-ins)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners or grease the wells with cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and melted butter until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract until just combined.
5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips or your chosen mix-ins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
9. Allow the Mega Muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve your Mega Muffins warm or at room temperature for the best taste and enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
